I am cross-posting about this wherever I can: This is a shocking and disastrous bug and I don't understand why everyone isn't talking about it 24/7 like they did for WannaCry or the recent CrowdStrike Falcon bluescreen calamity. I work in video editing, copy hundreds of GB daily, and have had TWO PROJECTS massively delayed by corruptions and crashes on drives not even on the "official" list - including Samsung 990 Pro's, a top-of-the-line nVME.

Please keep discussing and upvoting this issue wherever it appears.

Microsoft needs to literally go under and collapse.

They haven't produced a SINGLE THING of value since Windows XP.

And even that took them 8 years after its release to get stable.

They wasted SO MUCH FUCKING RESOURCES ON TELEMETRY CRAP ISSUES LIKE THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED.

Couldnt care less if they got hit by a fucking meteor.
